The 13th amendment in no way outlawed slavery. It just redefined how it is to be done

“EXCEPT AS PUNISHMENT FOR CRIME”

Arkansas is trying to get an amendment on the ballot for this election that would make slavery as punishment illegal.

That ballot initiative is being led by Roderick Talley, the guy who got Little Rock police on his security cameras breaking into his apartment and raiding it for cocaine and later sued the department and got some of their policies changed to reduce these raids. He’s also leading an initiative to restore voting rights to felons in Arkansas and running for state representative this year.
